Quote ="Chief Stinkwort"Best goal kicker? Depends on the criteria. Amazing kick from Thurston, but his 'did you get that on camera' quote suggests it's a bit of a one-off, and done of course under absolutely no ">pressure.'" I read somewhere he did it 3 or 4 times in the same session so he got someone to record one of them. Thurston is a great goal kicker but I have seen him miss one or 2 pretty easy chances too for North Queensland Cowboys so he is only human. Well I hope he is tomorrow night anyway. icon_smile.gif" alt="icon_smile.gif" title="Smile" />

Wonder what the odds on him having a go would be if Australia are 20+ points in front with just a few mins to go and Inglis scores in the corner?



Kudos to him if he tried it

I'd like to see him give it a go

Quote ="rover49"Surely the best kicker is the one who lands the best percentage of his kicks, if Thurston is the highest then you have to say he is the best. I would qualify this to be only regular kickers who would be first choice and not a stand in kicker who takes thre a ">year.'" I'd go along with this. When all is said and done, no matter what the style, actually being successful and getting the points is what they are kicking for first and foremost. I do think that the overhead catching in the Aussie game is helped by the same methods used in Aussie rules and I think that the Aussies having had a go at Aussie rules at some point when growing up are far more comfortable with an overhead catch from a cross kick than their British counterparts. Take Pat Richards for example.
